As a member of the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for the Arab countries since 1978, the ABLCC fulfils the essential role of bridge between Belgium, Luxembourg and the Arab countries. The Chamber undertakes initiatives to promote trade and investment relations between both regions, thereby encouraging the emergence of an economic and trade network fully integrated into the globalization process.

Belgian Technologies for your Oil, Gas and Energy Projects

Belgium-based companies have decades of experi-ence with projects in the fields of oil, gas & energy. The Carbon Energy Club groups these strong players into a tight network that firmly places Belgian-based knowhow in oil, gas & energy projects on the international scene.

For end customers as well as EPC contractors, the abil-ity to find a suitably experienced partner is essential to undertake a project of any size in the carbon energy & gas industries. The Carbon Energy Club answers this need by operating as an international platform between both parties. If you are looking for a unique point of contact for innovative technologies, operating from the heart of Europe, you have found it.

Why the Carbon Energy Club is a unique player.

The member companies of the Carbon Energy Club cov-er a wide range of activities: from design, engineering, manufacturing and commissioning of steel structures (including inspection, testing, certification and mainte-nance) through to lifting equipment, visualization sys-tems, software solutions, and health, safety & environ-ment services. Because the Club is established within the framework of the federation of the Belgian technol-ogy industry, it has a wide international network and a strong base at its disposal.

Voka - Antwerp-Waasland Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an organisation that brings together over 3000 businesses from our region. The Chamber is an in-dependent, politically neutral interprofessional organi-sation and covers multiple sectors. The Chamber’s mis-sion is very clear: as an independent organisation for the companies and businesses in our region, the Chamber aims at stimulating economic activity and promoting a better entrepreneurial climate. The Chamber contrib-utes to furthering economic development of our Region by lobbying, networking and offering specific services for individual entrepreneurs.

Antwerp and the Waasland region are good for almost 42% of Flemish export. Therefore, international con-tacts are of paramount importance for our region.

The Chamber’s International Department is an active promoter for entrepreneurs to establish these contacts.

The Chamber provides entrepreneurs in finding foreign business partners, both in and outside the European Union, through coaching in our international busi-ness clubs and through study- and network missions. The Chamber participates in joint projects with other countries and regions. These projects stimulate the co-operation and business connections in both regions in-volved. We also welcome foreign delegations to discover our beautiful region; as well as our Antwerp companies which can give true added-value.

In our 21st century economy, where trade contacts reach across the globe and where time is of the essence, commercial conflicts require efficient solutions. More and more, parties in dispute are therefore turning to arbitration. As a means of dispute resolution, arbitra-tion offers all the usual legal guarantees, but offers in addition a greater flexibility and time efficiency, avoid-ing extra costs and delays. At the heart of Europe, the city of Brussels stands out as a seat for international arbitration. The European capital offers some unique advantages and meets all the requirements for an effi-cient, secure and accessible resolution of your commer-cial disputes in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality, open-mindedness and plurilinguism. As the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and Mediation, CEPANI helps its clients solve their commercial conflicts in a safe and ef-ficient manner. We commit to providing parties in dis-

pute with the right legal and administrative framework, to ensure a swift handling of the case.

As a multicultural University in the heart of Europe, with one third of students and researchers from abroad, International Relations is a daily reality for the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), just like Brussels itself, one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. The ULB’s out-ward-looking position with regard to Europe and the world has resulted in a number of agreements, collabo-rations and partnerships being set up with some of the world’s top universities. Four scientific Nobel Prizes, one Fields Medal and three Wolf Prizes are further evidence of the University’s longstanding tradition of excellence. The ULB is involved in almost 80 projects financed by the 6th and 7th European Framework Programs. In addition, the University’s Institute for European Studies is recog-nized as a “Jean Monnet European research center”.

The ULB has 13 faculties, schools and institutes that cover all the disciplines, closely combining academic in-put and research. As a French-speaking university, most of the courses are delivered in French. However, a grow-ing number of Master programs are partly or entirely delivered in English. The ULB offers a wide range of French courses, prior to and during the academic year, to help its international students improve their language skills.

Since its foundation in 1834, the ULB has been closely involved in the ongoing debate on critical thinking and freedom. The ULB has retained its original ideals as a free institution that is firmly engaged in the defense of democratic and human values.

“Pure honey is hard to find. What if you just did? MELLIRIS is an exclusive range of BIO honey products sourced entirely from the best locations inside the European Union. We offer our customers a range of unique selling propositions :

◊ 100% Traceability – we work directly with beekeep-ers and, therefore, are able to identify the beekeeper who gave us each pot of MELLIRIS honey. Moreover, inputting the lot number placed on each pot - http://www.melliris.fr/your-jar/ - consumers get to “know” the beekeepers, see where they are located and even have a few words from them.

◊ The supreme taste - we only choose honey with very high pollen concentration (at least 60 % of the de-nominator pollen), hence the strong aroma and very distinct taste.

◊ The “Premium” aspect - we invite you to visit our website – www.melliris.com – for a first glance on our vision and market approach.

◊ Mechanically and fire rated quality proven with test reports following the European Standards.

World Wide

We’re active in the development of passive safety devices and we participated to several conferences in Europe, North America, South America and South Africa to show the new technologies / standards available to improve road safety. We’re not only an engineering company but also technical advisers.

One of our objectives being, as example, the possibility to use safer roadside products (safety barriers, …) that are protecting both heavy trucks and passenger cars at the same time or to make cheaper systems for the same safety level.

Therefore, I think GDTECH could share its knowledge & competencies with your company to try to collaborate on the development of new products (that would be tested according to crash test standard such as EN1317 or NCHRP350 or MASH or any other testing standard).

GDTECH is also currently trying to be active World Wide concerning those topics and Middle East is one of our next targets for which we are searching local manufac-turers with which we could collaborate.

Based on the successful collaboration GDTECH has with its customers worldwide on the Road Safety topic, we’re confident that your company and GDTECH can have sim-ilar collaboration to improve safety.

Our software solutions are encapsulated in four prod-ucts, each of which provides answers to a specific mobil-ity problem. However, they can also be combined in an overall business mobile resource optimisation strategy.

Market-IP’s four businesses are:

◊ Geolocation, through Telefleet. Telefleet is a Web-based platform for locating vehicles and all types of mobile asset (industrial machines, palettes, con-tainers, people, and so on) remotely.

◊ Geographic planning, that is, planning a certain number of movements and operations in order to minimise lost time.

◊ Analysis of vehicle drivers’ efficiency by means of DriveExpert. This latest addition to the Market-IP fold is an innovative software package for analysing and measuring driving habits.

◊ Digital mapping, through Geoservices. This applica-tion is a mapping engine that allows users to locate an address on a map (geocoding).

The company was established in the alcohol-free sector. It was created by 2 partners, Rachid Gacem, of Arabic-Muslim origin residing in Paris, aged 42, a former man-aging director of several companies (Paris) and Arnaud Jacquemin, Belgian, aged 32, expert in the drinks sector.

“Night Orient“, is a sparkling festive alcohol-free drink aimed at the Muslim community.

The concept is to offer the Muslim community an alter-native to fizzy drinks and juices for new year celebra-tions, weddings, birthdays, etc. There is currently no equivalent on the market.

The drink is Halal as it does not contain alcohol. Unlike certain juices or fizzy drinks that can contain a small amount of alcohol, Night Orient is 0.0% guaranteed.

Night Orient comes in 75cl bottles available in boxes of 6 or in displays of 66 or 135 bottles.

“My artistic approach consists in striving for genu-ine perfection. The perfection of the heart”. Françoise Ramaut is energetic, sincere and demanding. Her pieces are unique and all share a common trait: they arouse emotions. Her airy and inspired creations draw their energy from the brilliance of diamonds, which in itself express beauty and the absolute.

The hexagonal shape is a genuine trademark and plays the lead role in her art. “The hexagon evokes the six points of a star.

The sparkle that shines in the night. It is also the symbol of good luck. A sacred dimension that touches infinite-ness”. Her universe

has no frontiers; the imaginary world is always ready to face the challenges beauty offers to the world.

Françoise Ramaut is an intuitive woman, passionate about art and nature. With this collection, called Ramaut de Saint-Leger, she realises the dream she had as a child. “I had the luck of being able to create exceptional jewellery. These are unique joys, the conclusion of an encounter, of falling in love. Of a spark that materializes in the most stunning materials.

At SGS, we provide independent services that touch the lives of millions of people across the globe. We provide you with industry leading inspection, verification, testing and certification services.

SGS Product Conformity Assessment (PCA) is a solution designed to ensure that specific products meet the re-quirements of the technical regulations and standards set by a regulatory authority in the importing country. Conformity of products is evidenced by the issuance of a Certifcate of Conformity (CoC), a document that is man-datory for custom clearance.

We operate PCA services and assist manufacturers and suppliers to achieve compliance of their exports to many countries including The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This

specific programme is under control of SASO (Saoudi Arabia Standards Organisation).

An SGS Product Conformity Assessment prevents the importation of unsafe, substandard or counterfeit goods.

PCA helps trade facilitation and protects the interests of traders: importers benefit from a faster custom clearance because verification activities have been completed.

The Belgian Debt Agency is the federal debt manage-ment office of Belgium. It finances the federal state and it issues both long- and short term debt for this pur-pose. Belgium’s federal debt amounted to EUR 371.7 billion at the end of 2013.

Its principal debt product for the long-term investor is the linear obligation OLO which is exclusively issued in euro and which provides for a very high liquidity. Individual OLO lines can reach EUR 12 to 15 billion in terms of outstanding. In 2014, the Agency will issue EUR 30 billion of OLOs. The Agency proposes also a Euro Medium Term Note format which is used, amongst oth-ers, for funding in foreign currencies such as the USD.

Its short-term investment products are Treasury Certificates – highly liquid instruments in the form of T-bills – and Belgian Treasury Bills: the latter are is-sued both in euro and in foreign currencies.

Brussels, capital of Belgium, is an international city like no other. As the decision-making heart of Europe, it has become an international capital, where global opinion leaders meet to influence and do business, yet it re-mains small enough to allow its inhabitants to enjoy all the advantages of a human-size city.

The Brussels-Capital Region accounts for approximate-ly 20% of Belgium’s GDP. At least 85% of the Region’s economy consists of service activities.

Aside from being a top business location in general, the Brussels-Capital Region is home to thriving life scienc-es and “information and communication technology” (ICT) sectors.

◊ Life sciences: Belgium has a strong tradition in the life sciences, including biotechnology and pharma-ceutical activities, and close cooperation between universities and industry is a unique strength of the Brussels-Capital Region.

◊ Information and communication technology (ICT): the ICT sector in Brussels is extremely dynamic, and the software and multimedia sub-sectors are currently experiencing high growth. Access to top-level human capital and substantial public support make Brussels a very attractive location for ICT businesses.

◊ International organizations: due to its central geo-graphical location and unique status as the capital of Europe, Brussels is one of the world’s largest centers for international organizations, NGOs, in-dustry associations, interest groups and diplomatic missions.

For foreign investors, Brussels is the place to be to run a business with a European focus at a reasonable cost.

The Minister of Economy and Vice-President of the Walloon Government, Jean-Claude Marcourt, and his cabinet are charged with overseeing the economic and social development of Wallonia.

To the five clusters of competitiveness created under the Marshall Plan, with the goal of creating a solid economic and industrial environment (Transport and Logistics, Healthcare, Mechanical Engineering, Agro-Industry, Aeronautics and Space Industry), has been added a sixth one dedicated to the green economy.

Sustainable development is ripe with real opportuni-ties for Wallonia to enhance its economy. In light of this belief, special attention will be paid to SME’s and new technologies, which are also competencies of Minister Marcourt.

Located in the center of Europe, at the converging point of major roads, rivers, railways and air routes, Wallonia benefits from a high quality labor force and ample free spaces for the expansion of new economic activities; all advantages that Minister Marcourt, his team - in close collaboration with the Wallonia Foreign Trade and Investment Agency (AWEX) - will assert when promoting the benefits of Foreign Trade to the Region.

Belgium is a federal Kingdom comprised of three Regions (the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region) and three Communities (the Flemish, the French and the German Communities).

Belgium has a population of 11.1 million inhabitants (2013 est.) and is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. Brussels is the ‘Capital of Europe’: it hosts the headquarters of the European Commission, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. Other major international organizations, such as NATO, are also locat-ed in Brussels. That is how Brussels ranks as the world’s number two city (after Washington, D.C.) in terms of the number of accredited journalists, and fourth in terms of the number of international meetings and seminars held.

With a surface of 30,500 km2, Belgium is one of the small-est member states of the European Union. Nevertheless, it is a significant player in the world economy. Belgium scores particularly well for its export-driven economy and investment attractiveness. Its small size and limited internal market are the main factors behind the strong export culture in Belgium. Moreover, due to its well-developed infrastructure, good living standards, central location and highly-skilled workforce, Belgium is also praised by foreign investors.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) reached €375.9 billion in 2012 and an estimated €375.6 billion in 2013. Due to the continuing financial and economic crisis GDP growth was slightly negative in 2012 (-0.1%), but prospects are hope-

ful as estimates of the Economist Intelligence Unit sug-gest that the Belgian GDP will grow by 0.2% in 2013.

Despite the recent downturn, Belgium is a high income country, with an estimated GDP per capita of US$ 46,605 in 2013 (Economist Intelligence Unit).

In 2012, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Belgium was the 13th exporter and 13th importer of goods worldwide with a share of 2.4% and 2.3% respectively.

That same year it was also the 15th exporter and 15th im-porter of services worldwide with a share of 2.2% in both cases.

Since 2007, Belgium has been holding the top position of the annual KOF Index of Globalization, which meas-ures the economic, social and political dimensions of globalization.

Belgium also boasts an exceptional higher education and training system (number 4 in the world in 2012), with excellent math and science education, top-notch man-agement schools and a strong propensity for on-the-job training. These elements contribute to an overall high capacity to innovate (11th in the world). Belgium’s goods market is characterized by high levels of competition and an environment that facilitates new business creation. Business operations are also distinguished by high levels of sophistication and professional management.
